Jim 2 Posted July 16, 2004 Time for another one of those 'What have you...' type threads! A number of people on here obviously know the right kinds of people, as you seem to have had chances to go out for a spin in some fabulous cars - the only mates of mine that drive have a Civic, Laguna and a Suzuki Wagon R! So just interested to see what some of the coolest cars you've ever had the fortune to take for a spin are? Not including the Corrado of course.... :) The only decent car i've even driven is a Lotus Elise, and unfortunately that was only on a track! Would really like to go on the Audi drivers day (TT V6 and an RS6 to punish all day long) but I just don't think its worth the £400 price... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted July 16, 2004 The tank I drove still rates as one of my favourites.. ;) :lol: Would have been fun on the roads... Clamp that ya fu@~£rs! :lol: 8) I was lucky enough to take a Ferrari 348 GTB (with the plate A 348 GTB ! 8) ) out for a spin one lunchtime when I was 18 'cos it was owned by a friend of mine who I'd just managed to save a shed load of money... sods law that I managed to not see anyone I knew as I cruised through town though... :roll: :| Lovely to drive though, and OH! what an engine note... I just wish I could have given it a bit and had some fun with it... ;) 8) I've driven lots of different Porsches (356 A and B, 924, 928, 944, 911, 912 and 914) and took a mate's dad's Bentley out for a drive once too... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blair 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Hmmmm....I've not driven much that's been worth writing home about to be honest, probably the best was a TT 225, but I preferred driving my mate's Corrado VR6 truth be told. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 17, 2004 Picked up an MG SV for a dealer yesterday as a favour to the MD - soooo much better than the magazine reports and looks absolutely amazing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted July 18, 2004 My cousin's Carrera 4- awesome! Other than that, my blackberry VR with induction kit was great. My new VR is good too, and also the Nissan 200SX S14A which I nearly bought was superb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 18, 2004 I must say my favourite was definalty an Aston Martin 6.3 ltr Vantage But closely followed by a 4ltr Jag Sovereign - BUT with £40K worth of modifications was called a Jaguar Tornado built by Paramount Performance and was bored out to 4.2 Twin Turbo with about 450bhp and featured on Top Gear (I went along to the shoot) Clarkson was loving it and went out on a road test - brought it back 4 hours later!!! No film crew (gone home) and minus a full tank of fuel. But god it was quick and very nice. :shock: Ho Hum oh I wish I had silly money like some of my old aquaintences!!!
